context_page_description: Kyle Brandon Fuller is an American football cornerback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Bears in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and played college football at Virginia Tech.
context_section_description: On March 6, 2018, the Chicago Bears placed the transition tag on Fuller worth $12.971 million. On March 16, 2018, the Green Bay Packers extended a four-year, $56 million contract with $18 million guaranteed offer to Fuller, which the Bears then matched later that day, keeping Fuller under contract with the Bears through 2021.
  Fuller's 2018 season opened on a disappointing note when he dropped a potential game-sealing interception against the Packers, who eventually scored on the drive to win 24–23; after the game, he commented, "All I got to say is I got to catch it." In Weeks 6 and 7 against the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, he recorded three total interceptions, two off the former's Brock Osweiler and once off the latter's Tom Brady. The two picks in Miami marked the first time that a Bear recorded two interceptions in a game since Fuller's performance against the 49ers in 2014.
  During the remainder of the regular season, he recorded four more interceptions against Nathan Peterman of the Buffalo Bills, Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, Eli Manning of the New York Giants, and Jared Goff of the Los Angeles Rams. Fuller finished the season with 55 tackles, 21 passes defended, and shared a league-leading seven interceptions with Xavien Howard and Damontae Kazee. He received an overall grade of 81.4 from Pro Football Focus in 2018, which ranked as the 7th highest grade among all qualifying corner backs.
  On December 18, Fuller was selected to his first Pro Bowl. He was later also named to first-team All-Pro along with teammates Khalil Mack, Eddie Jackson, and Tarik Cohen.
